As the scholar further put it, “In many respects, the threat of cyber-attacks is escalating due to the increased availability of automated tools for malicious actions, the complexity of the technical environment, and the increased dependence of our society on interconnected systems. Therefore, protection of the information and communications infrastructures is vitally important.” (p. 5). As a result, this paper aims to explain what Cybercrime is, and enumerate reasons for cybercrimes. It goes further to enumerate the consequences this criminal and/or illegal activities caused the society at large.
